    I wonder when SUSE is going to have their turn at annoying a bunch of people.

    Canonical’s been doing it for years, Red Hat decided to run with it as well, and I’m pretty sure SUSE is the only major enterprise left that develops their own distro.

    LXD never quite fit my needs, but I use LXC daily, so this feels like a loss. I wonder what Canonical expects to gain by kicking out core contributors like this.

    Headline sort of buries the lede of how important those two were to building lxd and supporting the container ecosystem on linux. Sad to see. I have been using lxd on my home network and vps instances for years. Disliked when the project moved to snap-only distribution, but at least other projects picked up native packaging. And it doesn’t seem like lxd is going away, which is nice. But Canonical explicit seizure of control withers confidence I had in the long-term viability of the software for my own use.
